FgEVOLTfKO SIGHT. 30 SAYS PROFESSOR , ANTHONY OF DEATH BY ELECTRICAL EXECUTION. Urn Bays That the CUM Claim For This ' Method of Capital Punishment Has Been Disproved Other Means That Are - by Far Superior to the Chair. It is difflcult to conceive ; of a much more revolting spectacle - under the old regime than is presented at electrical executions; A number of eminent phy sicians are gathered in the death cham ber not only to witness, buto take offi cial part in the execution! The con demned man is brought in, 'strapped se curely by strong leather straps into the death chair and the electrodes fitted to the head, and legs. ' At a given signal the current is turned on, there is a most violent muscular contraction that would, except for the' secure bindings, have thrown the man from the chair. Then," follow a smoke and smell of burning flesh.. The current is turned off, the body becomes limp, one of the phy-. sicians tears open the shirt ana listens forj the heart beats. He exclaims that the' heart is still beating. The wires are again hastily connected, and the current turned on a second time. There is more muscular contraction, more burning flesh. , This time the several physicians in turn listen for the heart beats and pronounce the man dead. The body 1s taken from the chair, laid upon a rough table and cut np, according to law. ; These are the details as given in the daily papers', in one of which the report er writes over his own Signature. They Ynay be exaggerated, but there can. be no doubt that death by electricity is . anything bat ' the" calm and peaceful death that the authors of the law "were seeking to provide for the condemned murderer. . ' . r " i . 'Why was electricity chosen as the agent? Why not any one of several other means of causing death?" I can conceive of no reason except that the effects of eleotricity were ".least-understood and there was the least actual knowledge of how best to set about it to kill a man by thia means. No one even now knows exactly how electricity , kills. Becent experiments by Dr. Bleile of Columbus, O.. remarkable for the ingenious and thoroughly scientifio jnethods by which all the effects have been studied, have thrown new light upon the subject,, but even today we are yery far from know ing, with the precision vy ith which other . causes of death are known, just how ,death is. caused by the electrio shock. Neither; do we Iknow how to apply the current. Certainly if there is no less cumbersome apparatus and no less clum sy method available than that in use at Sing Sing thia of itself is sufficient rea son for abandoning this mode of execut ing criminals, v , It is pf ten claimed in behalf of elec trical executions lhafc death is instan taneous and painless." In no report that I have ever seen is there any evidence of instantaneous death. All the evidence that can be gathered from reports of ac cidental shocks goes to show ,that resus citation is possible . if the exposure to the current, is of ehort duration, t Painless no doubt it is, but so would be the effect of a pistol shot through the brain.' And why not use a pistol shot for executing a criminal? He might be strapped to a mattress, a semicircle of pistols arranged around his head termi nating at the temples,, and, if desirable, another group could be placed over the region of ihe heart. If electricity must be used, arrange to fire the pistols si-multaneously-by pressing a button. Why not? Would it ! be- more uncertain? Would it belesa humane? Would it be moi e - blood curdling ? . Would i t be less ' ' instantaneous ?' ' But perhaps there would bo too little mystery about it and too little complicated apparatus requir ed. There" would be no need of cutting a man no to see what killed him or whether he was really dead. f If we must inflict the deat penalty and wish to ba really Humane aconc it, there are surely many ways by which "death can be brought swiftly and cer taiuly without ' inducing muscular con tortions, or burning the flesh, or muti lating the body. 1 The criminal could be given a sleeping draft and then laid out in a glass case, which could Chen be nil ed withi;he fumes of burning charcoal I see no reason whyrwe should seek to make death particularly easy to the criminal. I lock upon the whole scheme of capital punishment as a' hideous blot upon our civilization, but if a man must be punished with death itj is certainly not upon-the theory that he must be put out of the way in the easiest possible , manner for him. It ia assumed that the dread of 5the death penalty will pre vent crimes that otherwise might be committed. The penalty, if it is to be inflicted, should come in a' form to be dreaded, yet thero is no excuse for tor .ture or for the semblance of torture. The criminal -should come to his fate with a full knowledge of what awaits him. The execution of the sentence should bo by a method that is swift and sure, without mystery, and about the effect of which thero is no uncertainty. . There should be no opportunity . for doubt as to the result, and no reason for excuse for a repetition of an operation Electricity does not iuiiill these re quirementa and never can until we know far more than we do at present of its effects iu the human organism. If we knew all we ought ta know to war rant its use, I believe an instrument that could be carried in the pocket would accomplish the results as surely as the hundred horse power engine and dynamo, now employed. --Professor W.

In. the center, but standing a little at one side, was a third ram. - The two rams had evidently had a falling out about something, or else they had come to settle in a friend ly contest which was the better ram. Ram No. 8 seemed to be acting as judge, umpire what do yon call it? Referee? Yes, thafr's it, the third ram ?as the referee. I don't know under what rules the meeting took place. It may have been Queensberry or Roeebery. : Yon see I am not up to these technical matters.; - . f- '. i . - - "When all the preliminaries had been arranged and both contestants had been cautioned apparently that there was to be no 'fouling'f-I think I have seen that word in the newspapers occasional ly, and therefore I suppose it is a cor rect word to use in this connection each backed off to the farthest limits of the circle, which, by the way, was not a squared circle. The referee stepped out of the way, and the rams dashed to ward each other. , When their beads came together, there was a terrific crash, and the force of tho concussion threw them as far apart as the length of this table." . -I:.-. , rv All the guests looked the full length of the table from the passion flowers at one end to tho bride's cake in the far perspective, and then at the preacher in the middle distance, but nobody said anything. '. j . I ,- I I "Then," continued he preacher, they took their places, apparently none the wbrsa for he encounter. Again, evi dently at a preconcerted signal from the referoe, they dashed together. This time the shock was even more terrific than the first, and! I noticed that as one of them went bank to his ah, "what do they call it, corner? ho was a little unr steady on his legs.

Mis adversary did not seem inclined to follow up his advantage, but possibly ne may nave been restrained oy the rules of the meeting. At any rate, after contemplating his fallen foe grave ly for a moment he walked back to his place. .

He ambled to his side of the ring and faced about. A murmur of some sort seemed to go through the flock. The odds were ap parently 3 to 1 in favor of the other ram that lis to say,,it seemed to be the general opinion that the ram with the i weak knees had been outclassed, as the other one was decidedly the heavier of the two. j ' j- ' "However, the smaller ram seemed to have wonderful recuperative powers. i When the proper interval had elapsed, he came tip smiling, as it were. I even thought I could see a twinkle in his eye, for I was quite close to the fence, and this thing took place only a little dis tance away.

After three failuret Geo.

The entire scheme was cleverly worked out and the agents of the Spanish - Government are said to nave been badly taken In, It is now known that the members of the ex peduion left Philadelphia in a rather open manner on Sunday night in a tug. To all intents ana purposes it was pro claimed from the honse-tops that their destination was : the Delaware break water, and that it was from off there that a steamer would be boarded for Cuba. It is presumed that, the Spanish officials had the tug followed when it left Philadelphia. The Cubans went upon this presumption, at least, and dar ing a fog on Monday afternoon their tug doubled and returned up the Dela ware bay and river to Camden, arriving there Monday evening. The party at once boarded a special train, which landed them at Tuckahce. The Cubans boarded the steamboat Atlantic City, which was lying waiting for them. The Atlantic City is used for Summer traffic at the seashore resort of that name. It has been out of commission for several months. Oa Monday last the Atlantic City took out papers of inspection from the custom nouse dt tne purpose, as supposed by the customs officials, of putting ber in temporary commission, as it was known that some parties bad been negotiating to purchase her. The At lantic City left Tuckahoe at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and , steamed to Ocean; City, where she lay all 'night. While the Atlantic-City was at Tucka hoe and Ocean City none of the Cubans were visible on deck, bat this moraine when I the whistle cf the, Bermuda at tracted people along the coast, the con cealed .men came on deck and gave cheer af er cheer as the r Atlantic City teamed out to meet the Bermuda. On. the three-mile limit the transfer of the Cubans to the Bermuda took .place, and the steamer then proceeded on her way. The customs bouse officials were caught napping and could do nothing to hinder the transfer cf I them: They at once communicated with the ! authorities at Washington. The secretary of the company which owns the Atlantic City says that the steamer was only pot in commission for the purpose of giving her a trial trip. KAN b AS POPULISTS.
